ABSTRACT

The imaging lens assembly includes a first lens with positive refractive power, a second lens with negative refractive power, a third lens with positive refractive power, a forth lens with positive refractive power and a fifth lens with negative refractive power, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the forth lens and the fifth lens are arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side, and satisfy the conditions provided in the present disclosure.

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to optical technologies, and more particular, to an imaging lens assembly applicable to a digital camera of a mobile phone or a WEB camera, which uses CCD imaging components or CMOS imaging components with high resolution.

BACKGROUND

CCD imaging components and CMOS imaging components are used widely in camera device, to meet the requirements of miniaturization and good performance of the imaging components, a wide-angle lens assembly with good optical characteristic, less thickness, and high luminous flux (namely, F Number) is needed.

Japanese patent No. 5513641 discloses an imaging lens assembly including five lenses. However, as the shapes of the first lens, the second lens and the fifth lens are inadequate, the proportion of the total track length (TTL) and the image height (IH) of the imaging lens assembly is greater than 1.58; this is, TTL/IH≧1.58. Accordingly, the imaging lens assembly is too thick to meet the miniaturization requirement.

In addition, Japanese patent No. 5775983 discloses an imaging lens assembly including five lenses. However, as the shapes of the first lens and the second lens are inadequate, the proportion value TTL/IH of the imaging lens assembly is greater than 1.34; this is, TTL/IH≧1.34. Accordingly, the imaging lens assembly is too thick to meet the miniaturization requirement.

Accordingly, an improved imaging lens assembly which can overcome the disadvantages described above is desired.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention will hereinafter be described in detail with reference to several embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 1, an imaging lens assembly LA according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The imaging lens assembly LA includes a lens set with five lenses, that is, a first lens L1, a second lens L2, a third lens L3, a forth lens L4 and a fifth lens L5, which are arranged in order from the object side to the image side. A glass filter GF is arranged between the fifth lens L5 and an image plane, the glass filter GF may be a cover glass or an IR filter plate. Alternatively, the glass filter GF may be arranged in other locations or even removed from the imaging lens assembly LA.

The first lens L1 has a positive refractive power, the second lens L2 has a negative refractive power, the third lens L3 has a positive refractive power, the forth lens L4 has a positive refractive power, and the fifth lens L5 has a negative refractive power. In practice, the fifth lens L5 is designed to have aspheric surfaces, so as to compensate aberration in the imaging lens assembly LA.

The imaging lens assembly LA as provided in the present embodiment satisfies the following conditions (1) to (3): 0.08≦R1/R2≦0.25  (1) −5.00≦R3/R4≦−0.30  (2) −1.50≦R9/R10≦−0.30  (3)

In the above conditions (1) to (3),

-   R1 is the curvature radius of the object side of the first lens L1; -   R2 is the curvature radius of the image side of the first lens L1; -   R3 is the curvature radius of the object side of the second lens L2; -   R4 is the curvature radius of the image side of the second lens L2; -   R9 is the curvature radius of the object side of the fifth lens L5;     and -   R10 is the curvature radius of the image side of the fifth lens L5.

The condition (1) defines the shape of the first lens L1. If the proportion value R1/R2 is beyond the value range defined in condition (1), it is difficult to compensate the high order aberrations such as the spherical aberration when the imaging lens assembly LA has a less thickness and a wider view angle with an F number (Fno) less than 2.2.

In addition, the proportion value R1/R2 in condition (1) is preferred to be set in the value range as defined in the following condition (1-A): 0.10≦R1/R2≦0.18  (1-A)

The condition (2) defines the shape of the second lens L2. If the proportion value R3/R4 is beyond the value range defined in condition (2), it is difficult to compensate on-axis aberration and off-axis aberration when the imaging lens assembly LA has a less thickness and a wider view angle with an F number (Fno) less than 2.2.

In addition, the proportion value R3/R4 in condition (2) is preferred to be set in the value range as defined in the following condition (2-A): −2.00≦R3/R4≦−1.00  (2-A)

The condition (3) defines the shape of the fifth lens L5. If the proportion value R9/R10 is beyond the value range defined in condition (3), an axial distance between the image side of the fifth lens L5 and the image plane may not be assured in the imaging lens assembly LA when the imaging lens assembly LA has a less thickness and a wider view angle with an F number (Fno) less than 2.2.

In addition, the proportion value R9/R10 in condition (3) is preferred to be set in the value range as defined in the following condition (3-A): −0.70≦R9/R10≦−0.50  (3-A)

The third lens L3 has a positive refractive power, and satisfies the following conditions (4) and (5): 10.00≦f3/f≦70.00  (4) 0.65≦R5/R6≦1.05  (5)

In the above conditions (4) and (5),

-   f is the focal length of the imaging lens assembly LA; -   f3 is the focal length of the third lens L3; -   R5 is the curvature radius of the object side of the third lens L3;     and -   R6 is the curvature radius of the image side of the third lens L3.

The condition (4) defines the positive refractive power of the third lens L3. If the proportion value f3/f is beyond the value range defined in condition (4), it is difficult to compensate the off-axis chromatic aberration when the imaging lens assembly LA has a less thickness.

The condition (5) defines the shape of the third lens L3. If the proportion value R5/R6 is beyond the value range defined in condition (5), it is difficult to compensate the off-axis chromatic aberration when the imaging lens assembly LA has a less thickness and a wider view angle with an F number (Fno) less than 2.2.

In addition, the proportion value R5/R6 in condition (5) is preferred to be set in the value range as defined in the following condition (5-A): 0.70≦R5/R6≦0.95  (5-A)

Upon the condition that the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the forth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 satisfy the aforesaid conditions, the imaging lens assembly LA is possible to have good optical characteristic as well as an ultra-thin profile, and moreover, the imaging lens assembly LA may also satisfy the following parameter requirements: TTL/IH≦1.30, view angle 2ω≧80°, and Fno≦2.2.
